    This lake is stocked each year with young Walleye that come from a garage based fish hatchery the local forest preserve employee run. Just saw a short on β€œChicago Tonight”. The forest preserve employees do a great job in helping to keep our lakes stocked with fish - Thank you for your hardwork so everyone can keep fishing here for years to come!!

    Terrific place to go boating,fishing,swimming it's a fantastic spot all year around. To be surrounded by nature just walking along the area is absolute bliss. Perfect spot for family outings or a nice romantic couples picnic.

    This spot has been around for years , and tends to have some good fishing at times. As of lately I've been twice and have caught small catfish (bullheads and channel) , and also strip bass. I'm thinking of renting a boat from them to get further out in the water where i think the bigger may be due to the hot weather. Good place for a picnic, kids , walking the dogs, and just enjoying the scenery.

  • 5/5 lisa s. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a plan to go somewhere else but it was closed and a forest preserve guy told us we could kayak here, so we checked it out that day. We went back the following day with the kayaks and had a blast. Then went back for a 3rd day in a row to go back out on the kayaks with a couple people. Everyone had so much fun. Great place and love to be able to go out and kayak, such a great way to social distance and still be out

    It's good for kayaking only. As far as fishing, this lake probably hasn't been stocked in so long. Don't count on even catching a bluegill here

    This is a beautiful lake with lots to explore. There is a boat launch right between 2 piers that is very easy for getting my kayak in and out of the water. The shape of the lake also makes it feel like more of an adventure, because you go around corners to discover more! You can also rent kayaks there too!
